Jaipur(Rajasthan) November 28 (ANI): Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot inaugurated India’s first Organ Donor Memorial in Jaipur on the National Organ Donation Day. This memorial is built under the aegis of Mohan Foundation Jaipur Citizen Forum (MFJCF). On this occasion, CM Gehlot also released the poster for the memorial. He lauded the MFJCF chairman Rajeev Arora and convener Bhavna Jagwani for bringing social awareness on organ donation in the state and said that this memorial will inspire people for organ donation. The Chief Minister said that organ donation is a sacred work, and one person's organ donation can save many people's lives. He said that there is a need to remove misconceptions in society about organ donation and give it a form of mass movement and every person should take a pledge of organ donation. The Chief Minister underlined that at present, the rate of organ donation in India is only 0.08 per million population, while in Spain it is 35.01, in America 21.9 and in Britain 15.5 per million. Every year about two lakh people in the country need a kidney, an equal number of people need liver and 50,000 people need heart transplant. But due to lack of awareness about organ donation, very few people are able to get their organs transplanted. CM stressed that we need to work more devotedly in the field of organ donation and organ transplantation and the state government is making all possible efforts in this direction.
